CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The foundation of Boston College volleyball has long been built by a program fighting uphill against the tide. A team that didn't exist before 1990 didn't win its first conference game until 1994, and the constant challenge of playing in the original Big East and the realigned ACC formed a bit of a glass ceiling over the team's ability to consistently compete for wins. The players and coaches were dedicated to honing the program, but the fight for wins constantly ran into power programs at Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, Georgetown and Rutgers before running into the national championship contenders at Duke, Florida State and North Carolina.
